Hey Friend
Happy Thursday,
This memorial weekend was amazing. Three full days to relax, enjoy the sun and spend time with those who we love.
Even during long weekends like this one I still keep my nutrition on
track, eating balanced meals that provide me with all the macro and
micro nutrients my body needs.
Last week I was talking
to a client who was asking me about how to brake from a "plateau". You
see, most people think that hitting a plateau is normal and that once
your body reached a certain point, it can't improve anymore.
This is a very inaccurate statement, and it generalizes the process of
body transformation to some personal experiences that may be the
exception, not the norm. Through working for years with people just like
you, I have learned that your body can change as much as “YOU WANT IT
TO.” Yes, it is that simple, as long as you have the determination and
desire for it.
So how do you brake form a “PLATEAU,”??? by
changing your actions. You cannot look ripped, lean, and toned unless
you get out of your comfort zone. It is your comfort zone that makes you
get to that point. In order to beat it, you need to restart your body,
shock it, confuse your muscle, change your routine and eating habits,
and break old molds.
So whats the solution? Start changing
what you are doing, and start implementing positive changes that will
bring your body to the wake up call it needs to re kick your metabolism.
I will give you 5 nutrition/lifestyle secrets that I use often to stay on track and always improve my metabolic status:
1) Start the day with a healthy nutritious breakfast.
My favorite choice is a Chocolate flavor Whey Protein shake mixed with
water (I have about 40 grams, most females should aim for 20 grams),
6-8 oz of oatmeal (plain flavor, nothing on it), 1/2 handful of almonds
(unsalted).
2) Drink plenty of water everyday. NO MORE juice, soda, etc... water, water, water is all you should be drinking (coffee in the morning is ok)
3) Prepare ALL of your meals in advance. Never leave your house without your home-cokoke food. Preferably 5-6 meals (measured in small quantities, 6-7oz each). Eat frequently, every 3-4hours. This will help with the urge to eat bad snacks during the day.
4) Have someone who you report to. This can be your spouse, friend, coworker or even better a TRAINER. Make sure this person understands what your goals are. Or at east try to keep a food journal you can share with your trainer.
5) Change your routine, if you are used to doing the same amount of weight, or the same amount of cardio with the same days off...switch it up. Try less cardio one week, more weight training another, or even go HARD for a few days in a row and then take two days off to rest and recover for a change.
I hope you find these tips helpful, and motivate you for the rest of this week and upcoming weekend :)
Let me know if you have any question about this, I will be happy to help you reach your goals.
Eat Clean, Train Mean, and Live Lean...
Your Coach,
